The Cult
Friday, Jun 22, 2012 6:30p
Marquee Theatre

These British rockers enjoyed their first taste of U.S. success in 1985 with “She Sells Sanctuary,” an echo-laden post-punk anthem. But they really hit the mainstream two years later with the hard-rocking swagger on “Love Removal Machine,” which boldly made off with the riff to “Start Me Up” and yet managed to sound more like a tribute to Led Zeppelin than the Rolling Stones. They’re about to release “Choice of Weapon,” their first new album since 2007.
